Lou came out. talked to him and after that talk. blanco nodded his head ran to first and lou patted him on back.
Conversation probably went something like. I have no other second basemen. You have to stay in the game unless you want me to bring in a butcher into second base.
parece que todos los equipos se hospedan ahi. Hace un par de años fui a visitar a christian gomez ahi. cuando jugaba para el dc. Conocido de mi primo de barrio
Winning yesterday would have been a hell of a road trip. but 5-2 road trip. you take that every time. esp with koyie hill in lineup. Harden looked good on trip. Marmol looked good. hopefully see rammi and fonzi get it going some more.
Now, what I'd like for someone to explain to me is this:
why is THIS Cubs team less likely to make more appearances then YESTERDAY’S Cubs team?
You can’t put this off to it being a poor opponent this time. We sucked against them on Monday, nearly fought them to a standstill yesterday, and beat the crap out of them today. Why do people think that yesterday’s team is the norm?
ReJo 1-5 with 1 RBI, 1 walk.
Riot, 3-5 with 1 walk and 2 runs scored.
Lee 1-3 with 1 RBI, 3 walks, 2 runs scored.
Ramirez 2-4 with 2 RBIS, 2 walks, 2 runs scored.
Bradley, 2-4 with 1 RBI, 1 walk, 1 run scored.
Soriano, 2-5 with 1 RBI, 1 run scored.
Baker, 1-3 with 2 RBIS
Fukudome, 1-1
Milton Bradley has only had a mulit hit game 11 times this year
The last time Theriot stole more than one base in a game was April
Ramirez has been hurt for a long time
Soriano has been MIA for almost 2 months until this last week.

Just got back from errands, glad to see our offense wake up today
has WGN ended their insane fixation on Phillies fans eating ice cream yet?
WanderingWanderer - July 22, 2009
No
But we still get shots of the LF line ball girl, so it evens out.
Clutch16 - July 22, 2009
I dunno, do they show the ball girl for 10 minutes at a time
because I swear that’s what they’re doing with the ice cream
WanderingWanderer - July 22, 2009
Holy crap we're winning.

Zeke - July 22, 2009
It was good enough for Bo Jackson
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009

MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
no he broke his bat on the pitch.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
His bat's been broken all year long.

drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
it was rolled softly to aramis. rolled out of his glove than he kicked it with his foot. no play
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009

interesting that guzman's still in despite this being his third day in a row pitched
John T. Unger - July 22, 2009

so Gregg can pitch.
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009

John T. Unger - July 22, 2009

MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
true
i forgot he pitched two yesterday
John T. Unger - July 22, 2009
i really wish lou would use marshall for longer consistently
John T. Unger - July 22, 2009
And can only find the plate every other day
BleedsbluinMI - July 22, 2009
well, yeah
but that hasn’t stopped lou from using marmol has the eighth inning setup guy pretty much all the time
John T. Unger - July 22, 2009

God, this is hard to watch...
bluekoolaide - July 22, 2009
we all know what is coming next.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
was the Ump squeezing him?
Game day seems to think 3 of those were in the zone.
sloathcheck78 - July 22, 2009
there were two that COULD have been called strikes
but weren’t terrible calls
WanderingWanderer - July 22, 2009
in Gameday
three of the four balls are on the inside of the fuzzy white line.
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
I thought the third ball was real close, other than that, no. He was nibbling.
BleedsbluinMI - July 22, 2009
He's had a tight zone all day.
The Philadelphia radio guys have been all over him.
Bill Potter - July 22, 2009
Gregg in, Fuku replaces MB
BleedsbluinMI - July 22, 2009
lou up on top step looking into phillies dugout
in an attempt to giggle and wave a-la last nite, but charlie manuel got tossed and lou can’t find him anywhere
12to23to17 - July 22, 2009
DS. Bradley out. Gregg coming on in that spot of order. Dome in to play right in pitchers spot.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
oh boy
I would have liked to see Guzman stay in here. Gregg gives up the long ball on occassion and Utley is due to for one.
The Phillies threaten every single inning in the last four. Eventually they are going to bite us.
Ryanocm1 - July 22, 2009
You can't keep walking batters and not expect anything bad to happen
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
luckily after tomorrow's off day we get the reds and we know dusty ain't having none of that base clogging business
12to23to17 - July 22, 2009
alright, Gregg!
let’s go!
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
We need this out...
No runs please!!!!
Freddyd - July 22, 2009
Utley is 0-for-his-last-10 in the series.

As much as Gregg has had his rough spots, he will ge the job done
(i hope)
Fingers crossed

(of course I waited for the inning to end to write that)
LAcarl519 - July 22, 2009
Seriously, dude
STFU, already.
Clutch16 - July 22, 2009
No, when pitchers continue to walk guys in front of Hall of Famers, I'm posting about it!
They are throwing the pitches, they shouldn’t be walking guys.
Itchy - July 22, 2009
but it's not
like flicking on a light switch. And knowing Howard’s record against Gregg, it might have been the right decision.
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
Still that brings the lead run to the plate.
Itchy - July 22, 2009
yes
remember the part about it not being a light switch?
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
No argument succeeds in the face of failure
And your HOFer failed. So STFU and be a Cubs fan, for once.

It wouldn’t surprised me if Pittsburgh lost that team.

since when did the Bucs become Boston's farm team?
I thought we had a pipeline to them

It's more like the O's have a pipeline from the Cubs

Pat suggests
putting Hoff at first and Lee at second. Has Derrek Lee EVER played second base???
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
It'd be a pleasant change from all of the gnomes the Cubs have used there this year.
Jody Jody Davis - July 22, 2009
no but blanco is staying in.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
Lou came out. talked to him and after that talk. blanco nodded his head ran to first and lou patted him on back.
Conversation probably went something like. I have no other second basemen. You have to stay in the game unless you want me to bring in a butcher into second base.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
The LF butcher...
To play 2B butcher?

RJ! Single!
9-5, bases STILL loaded!
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
reed singles. everyone is safe 9-5
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
Told you he was due
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
u did. can theriot be due too? he is behind 0-2 too
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009

RBI!
SackMan - July 22, 2009
Got. Moar. Run.
Clutch16 - July 22, 2009
Come on theriot even a sac fly would be huge.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
Or a grand slam
I’m greedy
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
he was trying for one.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
a bases clearing gapper would be a nice compromise
LAcarl519 - July 22, 2009
theriot swinging for the fences
someone slap him
jesus christos - July 22, 2009
I'd be going for it too
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
if lee or rammy was at the plate, yes
but a scrappy MIF, no
jesus christos - July 22, 2009
You forget where they are playing right now
In that band box, Theriot could have hit a home run.
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
please
sue369 - July 22, 2009
Oh please
I’d be swinging for the fences too.
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
good for you
sue369 - July 22, 2009
Yeah good for me
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
9 to 5 and remember the Phils ain't the Nationals...
If only this were the first game of the series
eths - July 22, 2009
if only we could have scored 2 runs yesterday.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
Or scored a run off Lidge yesterday.
Jody Jody Davis - July 22, 2009
Could have happened if that ball hadn't gone right in Lidge's direction
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
maybe. rollins was there anyways. only difference was aramis would have been safe at 2nd. so would have been 2 outs aramis on second.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
The double play ruled out that possibility
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
Theriot has come back from 0-2 to work count full. 3-2 after almost getting hit. here comes slider low n away. think RF
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
Riot K
Go DLEE
shake n bake - July 22, 2009
swings at ball four
WanderingWanderer - July 22, 2009
scrappy K
12to23to17 - July 22, 2009
Did he get his uniform dirty while waving and missing?
Jody Jody Davis - July 22, 2009
Theriot strikes out on ball 4. so obvious that slider was coming too.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
DLEE needs a homerun
sue369 - July 22, 2009
0/12 liftime vs lidge.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
there's always the first time.
sue369 - July 22, 2009
0/12 stands but gets BB and RBI on top of that.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
I'll take it
sue369 - July 22, 2009
me too. lidge has no control. if theriot didn't swing on 3-2. he would have walked in a run 2
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
Lidge's best days seem behind him
LAcarl519 - July 22, 2009
yahoo has 2 second baseman (Blanco and Sori)
gaclaudy - July 22, 2009
D-Lee ahead 2-0 and swings at ball 3. 2-1
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
D-Lee ahead 3-1.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
D-lee walks 10-5

Mr Goggles could use the cushion

He's sat down for so long that I'm curious about his knee
This is a long top 9th.
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
as am i. at leas he got 2 more runs out of the long wait. if things get bad. possible of marmol
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
very hot & humid day. he is probably OK.
…but let’s see!

MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
and he didn't say it. :)
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
My dad and I have this running joke.
That there is an actual seat belt in Ron’s seat. They need it in the 9th inning otherwise ron would start pacing and get so antsy he would walk out.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
aramis pops out ot Utley. inning over. FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS EVERYONE.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
Fastened!

FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS!
Vermont Cubs Fan - July 22, 2009
I'm fundamentally opposed to fastening seatbelts with a 5 run lead
but this is the reality we live in.
sigh
Gibbon Jockey - July 22, 2009

2 pitches one out. werth flys out to dome.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009

LAcarl519 - July 22, 2009
I love the first out in the 9th inning a lot. But know what I love even more.
The 3rd out.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009

drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
Lefty Greg Dobbs behind 1-2 and strike 3. Two outs.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
2 outs
Cubbiegoon - July 22, 2009
Gregg is dealing
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
Does Gregg
get the save, should all go as it should?
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
yes
came in in a save spot
shake n bake - July 22, 2009
i think so
jesus christos - July 22, 2009
yes sir.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
No, he does not.
Vermont Cubs Fan - July 22, 2009
Yes, he does.
He entered the game with the tying run at the plate, so he gets the save, even though when it ended the Cubs were up 5.
Bill Potter - July 22, 2009
yes he does.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
yes, #19
LAcarl519 - July 22, 2009

5-2 road trip
I predicted 4-3. I’m right even when I’m wrong.
Ace Venom - July 22, 2009
I do not get that last line.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
Good win. Solid road trip, overall.
Made up at least 1.5 games on the trip – can’t complain about that.
Bill Potter - July 22, 2009
But some will.
sue369 - July 22, 2009
I know.
But if Houston wins tonight, then the Cubs are 1 game back and 1 game up in the loss column – even better.
And with the teams coming to Wrigley, this team, as flawed as it may be, has a chance to be in first by the end of the Cincinnati series.
Bill Potter - July 22, 2009
That would be great.
sue369 - July 22, 2009
is that amazing
or what? :)
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
sure can't.
Winning yesterday would have been a hell of a road trip. but 5-2 road trip. you take that every time. esp with koyie hill in lineup. Harden looked good on trip. Marmol looked good. hopefully see rammi and fonzi get it going some more.
MandMexpress12 - July 22, 2009
FLY IT!!!!!!
Vermont Cubs Fan - July 22, 2009

great victory. Really good sign that they did not sit on the lead. Contributions from up and down the lineup.
Now to a nice homestand.

hey guys good news
Cubs Win
lexmarklover - July 22, 2009
.........Cubs win ............. cubs win ................ cubs win................. cubs win
lexmarklover - July 22, 2009
Now, what I'd like for someone to explain to me is this:
why is THIS Cubs team less likely to make more appearances then YESTERDAY’S Cubs team?
You can’t put this off to it being a poor opponent this time. We sucked against them on Monday, nearly fought them to a standstill yesterday, and beat the crap out of them today. Why do people think that yesterday’s team is the norm?
ReJo 1-5 with 1 RBI, 1 walk.
Riot, 3-5 with 1 walk and 2 runs scored.
Lee 1-3 with 1 RBI, 3 walks, 2 runs scored.
Ramirez 2-4 with 2 RBIS, 2 walks, 2 runs scored.
Bradley, 2-4 with 1 RBI, 1 walk, 1 run scored.
Soriano, 2-5 with 1 RBI, 1 run scored.
Baker, 1-3 with 2 RBIS
Fukudome, 1-1
13 hits, 10 runs scored, 9 walks and only 6 Ks.
This is OUR TEAM.
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
because yesterday's team has made more appearances than this team over the course of the season
WanderingWanderer - July 22, 2009
really?
our record is 48-45. Obviously the winning Cubs team has appeared more often then the losing Cubs team. Surely you can’t argue with THAT statistic.
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
we have won a majority of our games thanks to great pitching
while the offense has been sub par most of the season. Even you should be able to admit that
WanderingWanderer - July 22, 2009
of course.
nevertheless, I continue to wonder why today’s Cub’s team isn’t celebrated and expected to be duplicated.
drewishdrewid - July 22, 2009
it is celebrated
and I’ve already explained why it isn’t expected to be duplicated, as has SWL
WanderingWanderer - July 22, 2009
Probably because...
Milton Bradley has only had a mulit hit game 11 times this year
The last time Theriot stole more than one base in a game was April
Ramirez has been hurt for a long time
Soriano has been MIA for almost 2 months until this last week.
But I’m glad everyone contributed today.
santoswoodenlegs - July 22, 2009
Anybody here?
To track the Cardinals-Astros game with me?
Vermont Cubs Fan - July 22, 2009
I'm tracking on my own too
CubsBullsBears - July 22, 2009
I'm here!
What a 9th inning by the astros. hope they can pull it out!
cubbieblue - July 22, 2009
Thanks guys!
Thought I was alone here, and Al hasn’t posted his recap yet.
He’s probably on the way back to Chicago.
Vermont Cubs Fan - July 22, 2009
Coste is not Ted Lilly.
cubbieblue - July 22, 2009
What's with the delay on MLB Gameday?
Either of you two know what’s going on?
Vermont Cubs Fan - July 22, 2009
Naturally, as soon as I post that, the play is shown to me.
Vermont Cubs Fan - July 22, 2009
2-2 on Tejada... 2 outs
CubsBullsBears - July 22, 2009
ASTROS WIN!!!! WE ARE ONE OUT!!!!!!!!!
Vermont Cubs Fan - July 22, 2009
In play runs!
CubsBullsBears - July 22, 2009
What a beautiful sight!
Vermont Cubs Fan - July 22, 2009
We may wish that we never rooted for the Astros to win
louslovechild - July 22, 2009
They're making a mini run here...
But their pitching doesn’t scare me.
CubsBullsBears - July 22, 2009
They have money to spend.
Can you freakin believe that a 4 game series with the Astros at the end of July means something?
louslovechild - July 22, 2009
Then let's beat them badly next week.
In all four games.
Vermont Cubs Fan - July 22, 2009
All for it
Harden v. Wandy “freakin” Rodriguez
Z v. Oswalt (very cool)
Wells v. Hampton
Lilly v. Ortiz
Should be interesting. (These matchups are pending the non-change of both teams current rotation)
louslovechild - July 22, 2009
Yeah...
… I was really conflicted for this game. Didn’t want the Astros to stay hot, but obviously didn’t want the Cards to win either.
